What has the breeder said about the issues ?Did the breeder place out on a trial period . You certainly need to consult someone who can give you the right methods for this dog but don't be afraid to consider returning to the breeder,Dogs with issues is a lifelong commitment that can come with heartache,regret,frustration and expense. Before heading down the path off seeking professional advice I would certainly be having a good talk with everyone at home and with the breeder When the breeder said issues where they behavioural issues and what you expected ?

Fairly obvious the OP meant visiting the pup after 6 weeks. We don't let people visit till after the first Vacc & at this stage the puppies are now active,use to playing outside & intersted in people & fun to watch,prior to that there just cute .

Or pulled a muscle Even arthritis can affect just one spot , Vet may be helpful for me i always go to bowen first

The breeder has done everything correct .its seems you do not understand the correct registration bodies which is ashame as you are blaming the breeder for all the wrong reasons. I think you have very much presumed things ,her price would mean $2500 registered with DogsNSW exactly what the pup is . She has supplied you with the papers & the form & all you have to do is submit the papers whether you plan to join DogsNSW is up to you .Once submitted the papers will be returned to you in your name . You have no been misled or ripped off ,sounds like you have a great breeder who has supplied all paperwork in a good timely fashion

Your 1 & 5 yr old wont now what dog they want ,your 8 yr old would have a better understanding . All i can say is as a breeder placing the right pup with families with young children is VERY important .What method of selecting the puppy does the breeder use ??There is no point paying a deposit on a puppy that may be totally wrong for your family. I think there a great breed but maybe not the right breed for what your saying the kids want & remember they are little & break easy . Like any dog how they end up with kids is more a case of how good the kids are with dogs & how the parents ensure the right interactions take place . If your use to the sturdy Staffy then yes this will be the complete opposite & toys can be very much a one person breed . For what your wanting i would be looking at a more hardier breed or the next size up

Many say doing back to back can give you a better success rate if AI . Personally we would do natural first before wasting imported semen plus its nice to see what that combo produces ,we would do an AI if we had to on a maiden but prefer not . I now plenty who have had success & failure

The Wei & The Toy Poodle i would consider very even in natures in the sense of often to people oriented,manipulative & sometimes obsessed .both can be very one person orientated though so something to consider if its a dog for you both .

We never ever take deposits. Once puppies are vet checked,microchipped & there personalities are known to us ,prospective people come out & look at the puppies. Once puppy is selected we take a very small holding fee & the holding fee & microchip number of puppy selected is receipted ,when puppy is collected a week later microchip number is confirmed per paperwork & balance paid . I see no reason to ask for money on pups that haven't past the crucial survival stage,not been vet checked or have any clue what the natures are & whether suitable for each family .Whilst we don't have temp issues matching puppies to the right environment is very important to us .

All our dogs get Bowen treatment but especially the oldies as iits important to keep all the muscles in good condition as often they over use other areas that can end up more sore

There is a person who shows Bostons in Perth & she showed them on the weekend & may have had a litter in the past .She has shown for years but more recently moved into a smaller breed the Bostons

I would say 50% of emails we get are sent to the junk folder most due to the wierd Hotmail/gmail type names,a lot have no headings so like many we don't always open those as we don't now who it's from and what its even about , We try and reply as soon as possible but then we have had the issue of responding and the email bounces back so it's not always the breeders fault . We then get the multi ones from various family members that obviously have no clue or they do there emailing the same person and it starts to send signals. Or in our case no Telstra for 3 weeks due to Telstra issues and not all emails being received. We get those that email who then email again 3 hrs later asking us to reply asap ,hello haven't sat down to do emails yet , We ask all our people to phone and only ask for emails after the phone call with correct current details and outlining what they wanted in the phone call. Got Ng to shows to see what's out there is great but I suggest phoning and not a Friday night or weekends as that's show time .. I will be the first to admit we are finding puppy emails stranger and stranger ,we respond back and then you don't hear back from them for a week or so it be omessuch a drawn out process that is covered in a phone call

Yes one gets the salmon and another the venison.Both large breed very active dogs that holding weight is an issue ,they have kept good weight on Ivory coat ,the one on venison is twice but that would apply to any food feed ,I do feed mutton mince aswell

Flame suit on but you seem to use the word Kill factor an awful lot & i think you need to understand the breeds more or else your going to end up with the wrong dog & have the wrong understanding of how they work . All dogs will hunt,all dogs get bored,all dogs are smart & need to have there minds exercised . What you need to look at is what are the breeds you already have & what will there manners be like around a large dog ,if they have simply been around an old GSD that most likely didn't interact with them then they will make or break how any new dog settles in especially a giant goofy large breed . So it comes down to the fact the large breed puppy will need time out for everyone else & the small dogs will need time out.The temp of the current dogs must be factored into what they can handle & live with . I have large & small dogs & all parties have manners towards each other the little ones can not torment the big dogs & the big dogs must lay down to see the little dogs but they do spend alot of separate time so each sizes can play & be the size they are . 38kg v 7 kg . It has always worked well for us but we are very careful . If the Mastiff style is for you then i hope you love drool

What exactly do you feed & that includes any treats & what are the allergy issues

Many methodsMAY work but most rely on other people being there & working together when the key word is given. Size or breed makes very little difference once they decide to latch on . Certainly the figure up the bum does work BUT the last time i saw that method used both dogs where on leads & the third party did the deed & told them when to move far away quickly

Contact Baycity travel in QLD. If your flying each person can take one as excess baggage & freight for the others .So take the dogs as Excess & freight the cats Price wise hard to say because it can be charged in sectors so you may find it easier to fly out direct from Brisbane

My dogs are show dogs so crate trained BUT i would never ever not train my dogs to be in a crate . So many right reasons for them to enjoy being in a crate . As for choices depends on each dog mine hated the soft crates as they are more airless plus there a pain for water bowls if that option was needed . Mind you mine have C pens so can enjoy walking around at shows

I have to say given the scenario i would be doing the vet route

When you want a colour only then you need to contact breeders & then work from there .We get people in our breed that want colour only & that is fine but they may have to wait longer & then obviously hope there is a pup for them that is right for that family .If the colour is right but the pup is the wrong match we won't sell it . Phone breeders up & then go on a waiting list as often pups are sold before there born

Some dogs will chew there feet if they have anal gland issues.Does your Davie have hairy feet ? If so it could be a Tinea style thing where the feet are to mist ,we normally would use canister or even plain white vinegar but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked
